  Week  5            Title:  France  weather:  Red  alert  as  flash  floods  kill  13  in  south-­‐west  •          Author:  BBC  NEWS   Source:  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-­‐europe-­‐45861428       Summary     At  least  13  people  died  by  flash  floods  in  the  Aude  region  of  south-­‐ western  France.  Alain  Thirion  said  people  were  stranded  on  rooftops   and  would  have  to  be  evacuated  by  air  because  it  was  too  dangerous.   One  person  was  injured,  he  added,  when  a  house  collapsed  in  the   locality  of  Cuxac.  The  floods  are  the  worst  the  Aude  river  has  seen  in   more  than  100  years,  according  to  the  weather  monitoring  service   Vigicrues.  In  Trèbes,  floodwater  is  as  high  as  seven  metres.  Footage   from  the  early  hours  of  Monday  shows  the  rising  waters.  All  roads  are   inaccessible  to  the  north  of  Carcassonne  municipality  and  schools  are   shut,  authorities  say.  A  bridge  was  torn  down  and  carried  away  by  the   force  of  the  water  in  Villegailhenc.     My  reaction/reflection:     I  feel  very  sorry  about  this  news  there  was  a  lot  of  people  died  in   this  disaster  and  it  makes  me  know  that  disaster  is  more  dangerous   than  we  think.               Page  2  of  5
